For large corporations and gov organisations I can see how that could plausibly be true... for everything else, not so much. At smaller companies the hierarchy is not so rigid or deep, and people are not so siloed, they must work together m

I've given you the clarification, I'm not willing to continue a discussion based on pedantry.

No. I'm saying on MacOS , for certain types of development where you need BSD or GNU userland tools not included in MacOS - a package manager for installing such tools like brew is required to make life sane and workable.

Yup, i don't think this even applies to fashion, after all it's just reconstituted fashion. The most obvious application of this is to replace, augment or make more economic live action computer graphics techniques. That could act

This feels kinda unscalable though... wouldn't it make more sense to change the browser to make cookies and localstorage non-persistent and isolated, but otherwise available programmatically and to XHRs. i.e so that they can exist in i

Absolute fatalities are not a useful comparison, in fact they are meaningless without the context of the proportion of each source of power. The same study provides adjusted numbers per GWh in the abstract: 0.3 to 0.4 fatalities per GWh for

Chrome/chromium based, is worse than IE in this regard - because of Google specifically, we've moved from "viewed best in" to "only works in".

Unless something recently changed, Chromium is considered upstream for Google Chrome, not a fork... so you will see most engine level changes originate in Chromium, by google engineers. Maybe you are confusing it with de-googled-chromium et

I'm struggling to fully understand this tbh, but was recently exposed to these subtle differences when writing a mini organ synth. When implementing the draw bars (dictating the harmonics comprising each key) I realised the true harmon

Exploration, in a nut shell. Which can be interesting and fun to share (more so when it results in collaboration or derivatives), but can also exist fine without.

You don't. These devices are sold close to cost price. Ethically the disclaimer still makes sense even if shipping killed your screen and not manufacturing. Although I'm surprised it's not possible to get the shipping company
